On Wednesday, during a routine weigh-in near Waverly, a Nebraska State Patrol trooper spotted a 21-year-old commercial vehicle driver wearing headphones.

Climbing up to the rig to investigate, the trooper said they saw a cellphone taped to the steering wheel that was streaming a soccer game. The trooper issued a citation and records show the driver paid more than $200 in a fine before continuing on the road.

"Oh, my God," driver Rebecca Bell said after looking at a photo of the phone. "That's a little crazy."

With traffic and a speed limit at 75 miles per hour, driver Cheryl Allen is intensely focused on Interstate 80 during a cross-country road trip.

"I want to know that everybody else is watching just like I am," Allen said. After seeing the photo of that rig, she added, "I'm just glad I wasn't near that.”

The State Patrol says any distracted driving is an issue, but what makes the issue more problematic is that this was on a big rig.

"You have not only the [commercial motor vehicle] driver keeping an eye on his own lane, and the 80,000 pounds that he's hauling and making sure that he's driving safely, but also looking out for the cars that are maneuvering in and around him," Lt. Dan Doggett said.
